The Place Restaurant

  The Place is great! Try the Mussels in hot spicy red sauce and the Shrimp or Chicken Parm. Steaks and Prime Rib are very good. Friendly staff, great fireplace. It is open all year around (bad information in the prior review). Prices are reasonable. Try it.

  One of a handful of places to eat in the area. This place needs a visit from the producers of Restaurant Impossible!
  
  Menu and dining room are in desperate need  of  revamping   A fine example of a business taking  advantage of seasonal tourists rather taking care of the patrons that support them!

  We used to go there every summer when we vacationed at Loon Lake. The food was decent Italian fare and was one of the few choices we knew of in the area.  It was our one restaurant night when I didn't have to cook.  Half the reason we went was because of "tradition" and the name.  Over the years we did notice that it was getting dingier and dingier.  During the last trip I couldn't eat my meal.  We were seated next to a window and the filth and dead flies on the windowsill turned my stomach.  Looking around it was clear that the "Place" had not had a good cleaning in many a year.  We now own a camp in the area and visit year round but we have found other places to eat.

  We have a home just a mile away from this restaurant and have not been there in years due to the bad food.  Decided we would give it another chance...the chicken marsala was inedible.  Tough and dry like it had been in a freezer over a year, with a flavorless sauce.  Hubby had watery lasagna.  Daughter had sausage and peppers on pasta and enjoyed that.  Salads are separate for additional cost.  Only good part is the bread is hot and crusty.

  The Place is a well known landmark to regulars.  It's only open in the summer, only for dinner, and closed on one weekday (currently on Wed).   If you know this area you know its rare for a business to be around so long and still be doing so well.  While I wouldn't go way out of my way to dine here, it is certainly worth the visit if you are in the area.  Good  Homemade Italian food, simple basic atmosphere, and a typical Adirondack feel.  A good casual dining experience.  Call and find out the specials for the evening.

  This place is definitely called "The Place" for a reason. It is the only place on this stretch of road for miles, which explains why the parking lot seems to stay full. The Place is pretty much what you'd expect it to be from a place called The Place: plastic red-checked table cloths and  straightforward Italian-American fare. Thick red sauce on noodles with an iceberg lettuce side salad, a basket of bread and a generous glass of cheap red wine. Eat and move on.
